Features

A complete verification stack

Idova covers the whole identity-verification lifecycle — capture, screening, biometrics, and decisioning — behind one API and one dashboard.

01

ID document verification

Capture a passport, national ID, or driver’s licence from any phone and extract the data automatically — no manual keying.

  • Field extraction and document classification across 200+ countries
  • ICAO-9303 machine-readable-zone checksums validated arithmetically
  • Expiry, mismatch, and tampering anomalies flagged for review
02

AML & sanctions screening

Screen anyone against global watchlists — inside a full verification, or on its own as a standalone AML check — with a transparent, reviewable match breakdown.

  • Sanctions and PEP matching against continuously updated sources
  • Adverse-media screening with relevance scoring
  • Standalone screening (no document or biometrics) plus ongoing monitoring that re-screens and alerts on new hits
03

Biometric face match & liveness

Confirm the person presenting the document is its genuine holder — and a live human.

  • Face match between the selfie and the document portrait
  • Passive liveness checks reject screen replays and photos-of-photos
  • Confidence scores surfaced in the decision breakdown
04

Automated decision engine

A rule-based engine turns every signal into an instant verdict — approve, reject, or route to a human.

  • Signal-by-signal rationale on every decision
  • Sanctions hits auto-reject; anomalies route to manual review
  • Configurable thresholds and an append-only event log
05

Applicant portal

A branded, mobile-first capture experience you send as a single secure link.

  • No app install — works in any mobile browser
  • Guided document and selfie capture with retry prompts
  • Your logo and colours on the applicant-facing flow
06

Developer platform

Built API-first, so verification fits cleanly into your existing onboarding.

  • REST API for applicants, requests, and reports
  • Signed webhooks for every lifecycle event
  • Explicit sandbox and live environments
